Chapter 2: the new kingdom
Two figures were walking up a dirt track towards the nearest village. Claire was surprised that there had not been any attempts made by the organisation to capture and destroy her. She was now rogue to the organisation that had taken her in... and turned her into something else.
"Raki." claire said to the young man walking beside her.
"Yes?" the human now identified as raki asked his female companion.
"The organisation will make thier move any day now. We should stop and rest here for a day, then we leave in the morning. Ok?"
"Sure, no pro... huh?" Raki stopped and looked at a crowd that had gathered around something.
"KILL IT!"
"Demon scum!"
"Filthy yoma!"
"Yoma?" Raki's eyes widened and so did claire's.
"Outta my way." Claire said to the ruffled crowd. The crowd parted to allow the newcomers entry to what ever they were yelling at. As they reached the center of the commotion, Claire let a small gasp escape her lips. In front of her was a moderately sized cobalt blue hedgehog.
"What type of yoma is that?" Raki asked claire. He had seen demons before, but none had ever resembled this shape or form before.
"It is not a yoma." Claire replied simply. The crowd gasped as claire made the point of that clear. She bent down to touch the beaten form. 'Humans' claire thought angrily.
"Is he okay?" Raki asked, clearly worried for the small life form.
"He'll live." Claire replied, her face portraying no hint of emotive response. "Does anyone know an inn at which we can stay tonight?" claire asked to the intesifiying crowd. No answer.
"Get out." Claire turned to see a dumpy figure of a man glaring angrily at her. "You filthy half-breeds stay away from our village. Clear?" the man growled. claire winced slightly at the what she had just been called. Claire looked down to see the figure groaning and moving. She bent down to pick him up...
SMACK!
Claire collapsed to the ground, dazed by the blow that struck man that insulted her had smashed her round the head with what looked like a common garden shovel. He raised it above his head for a death blow.
SHUNK.
"What the...?" The man stared at the now fully awake form of the hedgehog, with a look of plain rage and surprise.
"You surprised me before..." The being started. "But not this time..."
Next time on Sonic Claymore X:
